I work ATC and yesterday we had a major carrier flight divert back home due to a broken bathroom. It was damn near halfway to its destination and had to turn around and head back. So my question is, what the hell had to have happened in that bathroom, and, I know 737 have more than one, why would a single bathroom cause a diversion?

How do you negotiate from an unfavorable position? My IRL example is:

How do you negotiate for a new vehicle if the area dealers refuse to negotiate? The gist of it is, I live in Anchorage and there are not many dealers around. It can be economical to purchase and ship a vehicle from the lower 48. I wanted a new Wrangler, and dealers (at least that I spoke with) refuse to negotiate on them because they can't keep them on the lots as it is. I walked in, talked to them, got a price, walked out, waited a week, asked for another price, waited a week, then purchased at the same price they started off with.

I ended up just taking their price they offered because... well, there really wasn't any other option and it wasn't a bad deal at this particular dealership. I walked from another offer at another dealership because they added in a bunch of useless shit for a $2k markup, like GPS tracking and nitrogen filled tires.

Will it taste like cheese? Currently my wife, who loves cheese but it does not love her back, tried some vegan cheese only to spit it out. I tried it too and it just tastes like yellow shaved plastic with a funky aftertaste. Regular shaved plastic would be better, honestly.

I live in Alaska and all-weather mats are pretty much mandatory. We don't use much salt here because it gets into the nearby bodies of water and affects wildlife, plus it can get so cold that salt is useless. But the dust, dirt and gravel that they put on the roads to give them traction gets everywhere. If you do go the mat route, make sure the mat goes far enough up near the pedal area to cover where you rest your feet.

So Chinese people typically don't eat a lot of fish and/or seafood?
